Toward an assessment of escape/avoidance coping in depression. Behav Brain Res. 2019 Nov 15;:112363 Authors: Haskell AM, Britton PC, Servatius RJ Abstract Models of animal behavior suggest that anxiety and major depressive disorder (MDD) may be characterized by different profiles of escape and avoidance behavior. However, the literature on coping strategies fails to distinguish between avoidance and escape coping patterns, instead grouping escape behaviors into the larger category of avoidant coping. We argue that investigating both escape and avoidance coping behavior in those with anxiety and depression may reveal distinct behavioral profiles, whereas the current conceptual framework has failed to find significant differences coping style.
